TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Although the movie is heavily autobiographical, director and writer Noah Baumbach said he never pretended to have written "Hey You" by Pink Floyd for a school contest. In reality, a friend of his did it with a song by The Who. Baumbach borrowed the story because it felt so much like something that could've come from his childhood.

According to director Noah Baumbach, Jesse Eisenberg auditioned 9 times for the part of Walt.

Noah Baumbach originally wanted Wes Anderson to direct. Anderson convinced Baumbach to direct it himself because the film is very personal to Baumbach.

Bill Murray was set to star in the main role. He backed out in the last minute because he wanted to take a break after filming Broken Flowers (2005).

Shot in 23 days.

Popular Dialogues

"Bernard Berkman: What is it about high school, you read all the worst books by good writers."

"Bernard Berkman: How do you know they were both Frank's? Ms. Lemon: Well, I suppose it's possible other kids are masturbating and spreading their semen around the school as well... It's possible, but, uh, somewhat unlikely. Bernard Berkman: Oh, it happens, I'm sure, much more than we know. Joan Berkman: Bernard, have you ever done anything like this? Bernard Berkman: I'm not going to answer that."
